just saying hello

bought my first Tacoma yesterday. drove a few hours to it and traded my rav4 for it. its an 05 4cyl access cab manual. anyways just wanted to say hello. i'll probably come up with a few silly questions as time goes on...

 

4cyl.. No!!!!!!! You'll be fine. At least it is a manual
Enjoy it.
Check out the 2nd gen forum, and you'll find lots of good information.

 

thanks! I was a bit torn between 4 and 6.. I have my reasons. not to say I wouldn't enjoy the 6!

also it came with a Leer 700 tonneau cover which also has a spoiler/wing on it. it looks nice on the truck but honestly I have no use for the tonneau cover and want to sell it. not sure how much its worth or if I sold it on here how or if it could be shipped without spending an arm and a leg? any help would be sweet

 

Most people don't notice any MPG different between 4 and 6, but hey its up to you.
A spoiler on a tonneau? Better take that off before you get flamed on
I doubt someone would pay to have it shipped. Post in the forsale forum, with a location and you'll get more hits.

 

its a small spoiler if that helps me stay safe regardless its gotta go. not a fan of the tonneau cover let alone. the added spoiler. truthfully it doesn't look bad but for my use its just going to be in the way.

so silly question but I don't know what the thing is worth. looking up just the tonneau cover I'm seeing those for 12-1300? I would call the condition of this at about 90%, no scratches or any visible wear/damage and the inside looks like new. there is some corrosion on the handle/latch mechanism which takes away from it looking "like new"

if I were to guess I'd say $700ish but I don't know if I'm way off and I wouldn't want to be wasting my time if I try for that much and never get any responses... any thoughts?

 

Tonnueau covers vary, and I believe you can buy generic covers that would cost you ~$100 but wouldn't be great quality.
Post a picture,But yes some brands (Most people on here are going to have those brands) can go up $1000.
There are tri folds, dual folds, and rollups, and some that are slimmer, some that lock, some that are very easily removed. ECT EDIT: and hard tops.. Which are stock

 

Welcome to TW! Sorry to hear you gave up your RAV4. I love mine. It has nearly 200k miles and still kickin ass. At least you are still in the Toyota family and now part of TW.

 

I don't know why that's sideways? anyways, like I said before its a leer 700 series and it is lockable.

I liked my rav too, just time to move on and I've had a secret crush on Tacoma's for a while so it was time

 

Looks good.
Search leer 700 in forsale forum and see what people are listing them at, and then get some pictures of yours and post it up! If you're unsure on price, I would say 800 OBO?

 

Welcome to TW

 

thanks for the welcomes and the input. been doing lots of reading on the forum. most is just plain interesting seeing what others are doing to their trucks!

after looking a few up I got an idea what I would be asking and posted it in the 2nd gen for sale thread.

 

by the way, what does GLWS stand for? I'm seeing it everywhere

 

good luck with sale
